It’s pretty absurd that the US government talks out of both sides of its mouth on this issue. There’s an effort to divest from oil, shut down permitting, and discourage investment. And when companies respond to this by reducing investment, there are claims about “windfall profits” and “price-fixing”.

There’s no grand conspiracy here. Shale companies over-invested in growth, lost their shirts in 2015, and got punished by investors (or went bankrupt). Then prices recovered, they over invested in growth, and got demolished again as oil prices crashed and even briefly went negative in 2020.

Fresh off these two crashes, it’s not surprising at all that companies are exercising capital discipline and not taking on debt to drill. Shareholders don’t want them to do that!

I'm kind of glad it's a dumpster fire right now. If I got a job like I had in the past I wouldn't have decided to go down a different path. I'm going back to school to complete premed requirements and apply to medical school next year. I'm working as a medical assistant and training for EMT. I'm much happier than I would be as a web developer. There are tech jobs that would have interested me but I'd still rather be a doctor anyway, not that that is guaranteed. I did some open source Rust and learned some AI but you really have to show devotion through unpaid work to secure those positions, or get lucky.
The mere implication that consumers can be driven by privacy concerns flies in the face of 20 years of observed reality so I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that that is credibly possible. Objectively consumers are driven primarily by convenience, with cost coming in a close second.

Counterpoint:

I know grammatically it isn't the most correct, but I don't see anything non-idiomatic about "amount of features".

Reason: "Just the right amount" is a set, idiomatic expression. "Just the right amount of ___" is just extending the expression. IMO extending idiomatic expressions exempts it from a lot of the formal word-pairing conventions in English.

But I'm no linguist.

My thoughts were this might also be on the World politics level. E.g. a case where a stronger country during wartime will co operate with weaker country, and then slowly infiltrate because it's easier than to do full on invasion.

Then finally when weaker country starts to complain they will completely take over. The stronger country in theory could at any time swallow the weaker, it's just that it might be more beneficial for stronger country to do it in a slower, methodical, deceiving manner, until it can. Or when it actually needs to.

In this case it seems to me it was strategic behavior by the cat to not immediately eat the mouse, but instead consume the fat first. Eating the mouse was a fallback in this scenario.

But overall this specific scenario happens on so many levels of relationships including, but not limited to interpersonal, business, country level, World level, etc.

The main key points in my view are that it is a cat, and cat always will want to eat the mouse in what you would think is pscyhopathic mannerism if it was between people, but it's most easily explainable on level of countries. Because ultimately countries as entities have to act in psychopathic ways with each other, because territories, resources are all clearly limited.

Due to the complexity of World politics you have to co operate with your enemies as well. Both sides are lying to each other, keeping secrets, but at the same time co operating, because they have to or they otherwise will fall behind other countries.

Is charge time important because you can't install a L2 charger at home / apartment to keep it "always charged" or because your usage pattern is too heavy duty for a 30 minute break every 200-300mi?

If it's just the former, the slow steady march of EV mindshare might solve your needs before the "L4" super-fast-charging battery. I am starting to see L2 chargers pop up in apartment parking lots, for example. IMO, "always charged" is significantly more convenient than short stops at a station, so it would still be desirable in a world where "L4" batteries and stations were common.

> I don't even know what the writer thinks a union is going to do.

As I read it, the writer thinks that a union can somehow bargain with management to get different technical tools adopted that will not commoditize developers.

I don't agree with him because the incentives pushing management to commoditize developers are real business incentives. Management doesn't care about technical quality per se; it only cares about technical quality that makes a difference in how much customers will pay. And customers don't care what technologies you use for your app under the hood; they only care about whether it does what they want. If management can make the app do what customers want using interns pulling code from ChatGPT and tweaking it until it stops crashing, at a fraction of the cost of actual expert software developers, that's what management will do.

Developers having a union doesn't change any of that, and if the union succeeds in keeping management in that particular company from using interns and ChatGPT, that just means that company will be out-competed in the market by some other company that doesn't have a developers' union and can give the customer a lower price. The only way for developers to break that cycle is to take on the business risk themselves and start their own developer-owned company that succeeds in the market by leveraging the developers' expertise to provide cheaper solutions to the customers' needs.
I'm doing the same with ZimWiki, except for running the sync script as a custom tool in the UI.

> What bothers her most is the way some employers seem to relish being able to string candidates along. One flew her in for several hours of face-to-face interviews and never followed up.

I am sure a lot - maybe most! - of this "ghosting" really is just rudeness and/or abusing power. But in my anecdotal experience I was always way too busy to do my normal duties along with handling a hiring process, and I ended up stringing candidates along without intending to - in fact I felt terrible about it! Some managers accommodate the work of hiring by taking other stuff off your plate. Other managers dump too much of the hiring process onto you, even if you're already coding for 60 hours a week (my last job really sucked).

That said, note the extremely important caveat tucked at the very end:

> More than three-quarters of the reported job gains in the last month were concentrated in four sectors: government, healthcare, construction, and leisure and hospitality. Jobs in tech, finance, law, and accounting were essentially flat or slightly down.
One of the advantages of this sort of DSL is that they're easy to share between languages. One needs one implementation of JSON path per programming language, and then it's easy to, for example, iterate on the query in the REPL of a dynamic language, then copy it to a fast compiled language. Or share a query between the browser and the server. That sort of thing.

Regex has similar advantages, if one sticks to the subset of regex which is commonly understood between languages: so less so, for that very reason.

Another plus is the principle of least power. A JSON Path will halt, and it won't make syscalls. There are circumstances where that's useful.

It's a lot harder to just spin-off and "build your own stuff" in hardware though, which is I think what keeps the "married employees" around longer. The startup costs are much higher and riskier. And you need a lot more people. Building that rocket engine from scratch probably required around 50 - 60 people to really get it all together.

Also, a rocket engine is a core feature of a rocket (literally cannot fly without it). If they started development of this engine in 2018, that's *six years* of work to get to their current state. Imagine spending 6 years on a core feature of an app that you'd consider "min-viable", and everytime you had a bug the computer you compiled the code on spontaneously combusted?

Tough to say if I have a "glowing" history, but I do have experience a few big companies that I think looks good.

One time, when I was applying to work for a newspaper [1] as a software engineer. The recruiter was pretty sure I'd get an interview so he actually fast tracked me to do some stupid personality quiz and compliance crap, which took about three hours. The next day, I get a call from the recruiter and he tells me that I was passed over because my resume "looked too much like a manager's resume, no hands on coding experience".

Now, that is very bizarre, because I've never really been a manager. I was an adjunct professor for two semesters, but for the last 13 years I've been a pretty vanilla software engineer, and my resume pretty much exclusively tried to highlight my work with .NET and Java and Node.js and Kafka. In fact, people have told me that my resume was "too technical" and that I need to speak at higher levels and get out of the weeds.

The recruiter was confused too for the same reason, and then I realized something: the hiring manager probably never actually read the resume. I believe that they already knew who they wanted to hire for the position, but for bureaucratic or legal reasons, they had to make it look like they were trying to find the "best person for the job", and put out feelers for people, and they were just kind of ambivalent about wasting my time. It really bothered me, but there's not much I can do about it.

2023 was probably the worst year of my life. I got laid off twice, and spent about six months applying to jobs. I never really got used to waking up to twenty rejections every morning so every day I would feel kind of depressed until I went to sleep. I hated the faux politeness that I display during Zoom interviews. I hated logging into LinkedIn every day, applying to 100 jobs. I hated messaging all my contacts to ask if they know anyone hiring. I hated feeling desperate. It was tough, and I don't wish it on anyone.

I have a really decent job now and I consider myself very grateful and lucky to have it. It's a really tough market right now, and anyone who's stuck competing in it has my sympathies.

Look at how every single politician across all spectrum is playing politics and PC and is on full PR mode 24/7 when on camera. That's not the kind of people who make good long term decisions just because... they are good. Not when they massively hurt back.

A couple of years back I also enjoyed reading "The Pagan Christ" by Tom Harpur. Thesis: Joshua ben Joseph, aka Jesus, did not actually exist: "early Church leaders fabricated a literal and human Jesus based on ancient myths." (Mithras, Dionysus, Osirus, et al.) A very good read. Info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pagan_Christ

There is also the story of "Ya" v "El", two examples of the One-True-God, worshiped by competing proto-Jewish tribes, later merging into Yaweh, while letting their wives and children get scraped off and forgotten in the process.

Anyway, thanks.
I don't know that I really get the point of margin-trim - there are already plenty of other, arguably clearer ways of avoiding padding at the start and end of an element - using flexbox and the gap property, using :not, even the classic + selector works pretty well here.

Is it designed to do more than just that, or is it just about avoiding gaps at the start and end of lines of elements?
